RE: shiningstar2/ shiningstar/ hogreaper/ ?This describes you perfectly. Get help.
Pathological liars - or "mythomaniacs" - may be suffering fromhistrionic personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder.The following comments basically reflect a pathological liar who hasthe characteristics of histrionic personality disorder.
Some characteristics1. Exaggerates things that are ridiculous.
2. One-upping. Whatever you do, this person can do it better. You willnever top them in their own mind, because they have a concerted need tobe better than everyone else. This also applies to being right. If youtry to confront an individual like this, no matter how lovingly andwell-intentioned you might be - this will probably not be effective.I
t's threatening their fantasy of themselves, so they would ratherargue with you and bring out the sharp knives than admit that there'sanything wrong with them. 3. They "construct" a reality aroundthemselves. They don't value the truth, especially if they don't see itas hurting anyone.
If you call them on a lie and they are backed into acorner, they will act very defensively and say ugly things (most likelybut depends on personality), but they may eventually start to act like,"Well, what's the difference? You're making a big deal out of nothing!"(again, to refocus the conversation to your wrongdoing instead oftheirs). 4. Because these people don't value honesty, a lot oftimes they will not value loyalty. So watch what you tell them. Theywill not only tell others, but they will embellish to make you lookworse. Their loyalty is fleeting, and because they are insecure people,they will find solace in confiding to whomever is in their favor at themoment.
5. They may be somewhat of a hypochondriac. This can comein especially useful when caught in a lie, for example, they can claimthat they have been sick, or that there's some mysteriously "illness"that has them all stressed out. It's another excuse tool for theirbehavior. 6. Obviously, they will contradict what they say. Thiswill become very clear over time. They usually aren't smart enough tokeep track of so many lies (who would be?).
